Hair removing device with a lotion applicator

A hair removing device with a lotion feeder, said device comprising:

• a housing;
• a treatment head mounted to said housing and including a hair removing unit which is held against a user's skin for hair depilation or hair epilation, said treatment head also including an applicator which dispenses a lotion on the user's skin;
• a tank holding the lotion;
• a lotion supply mechanism for supplying said lotion from said tank to said applicator,
• wherein said treatment head is provided with an actuator which acknowledges an event of said treatment head coming into an operative condition with the skin, said actuator activating said lotion supply mechanism to supply said lotion from said tank to said applicator,
• said actuator is movable relative to said housing between a non-depressed position and a depressed position where the actuator is depressed towards said housing against a bias,
• said lotion supply mechanism including a pump having a pump chamber for temporarily storing said lotion supplied from said tank, said pump having an inlet flap valve permitting said lotion to be fed into said pump chamber from said tank and an outlet flap valve permitting said lotion to be delivered from said pump chamber to said applicator,
• said actuator being interlocked with said pump such that only said outlet flap vale is caused to open for feeding said lotion to said applicator from said pump chamber in response to said actuator being depressed to said depressed position and that only said inlet flap valve is caused to open for drawing said lotion into said pump chamber from said tank in response to said actuator returning to said non-depressed position,
• said pump chamber is surrounded by a stationary wall member with said inlet flap valve and a movable wall member with said outlet flap valve, said movable wall member being movable relative to said stationary wall member, and
• said movable wall member being interlocked with said actuator so as to generate a positive pressure within said pump chamber for feeding said lotion to said applicator through said outlet flap valve when said movable wall member moves towards said stationary wall member in response to said actuator moving to said depressed position and to generate a negative pressure within said pump chamber for drawing said lotion into said pump chamber through said inlet flap valve when said movable wall member moves away from said stationary wall member in response to said actuator returning to said non-depressed position.
